We Write A Script

As Hollywood heads into the movie summer with a barrage of CGI-heavy kid's movies, we are kind of disheartened. Our demographic seems to be forgotten by the studios and these days we can find joy at the movies only at film festivals or maybe in the Oscar season.
Now, the least we can do is writing the movie we would like to see and go from there. We've been tossing around ideas for over a year now, but we're coming (slowly, much too slowly...) to an end.
Why are we doing this? First of all, it's fun. Sitting, for example, at a bar and talk about stories and characters just so perfectly fits to New York City. And the formalized and concise writing style of a movie script, suits us well with our tech writing experience. On top of it, it's an ideal art form for working together, again because individual writing style has a much lower priority.
Secondly, I think, as a screen writer you're competing on a relatively level field. Of course, having a well-known name gets your work much easier in front of producers and directors. But people watch movies because of actors and directors and maybe the people, who brought you some other stuff you like, but very rarely for the screenwriter. This means, as opposed to musicians and novel writers, there's no marketing power associated with a screenwriter's name. That may be frustrating at times (who remembers the name of the last screenwriting Oscar winners?), but we'll happily deal with that later.
